WHY

Why is KYC verification required?

KYC (Know Your Customer) is a global financial standard for identity verification. Its core purpose is to clearly establish ownership of assets in your own name. Completing this step lifts the standard withdrawal limit so you can fully realize the returns generated by 5010 Quant 3.0.

HOW TO

Verification steps

  1. 01

    Open the KYC verification page

FAQ

Frequently asked

Yes — it's mandatory. 5010 Quant 3.0 operates on an account held in your own name. Without KYC, withdrawals are restricted and you can't realize your trading returns. It's a global standard for proving asset ownership.
The reason is sent by email. Most rejections come from poor-quality ID photos or English-name mismatches. Once you address the reason, you can resubmit. If you're rejected repeatedly, contact your advisor.
For typical 5010 Quant 3.0 use, Level 1 is enough — the daily withdrawal limit is set at $20,000 USDT. Only if you operate funds beyond that limit will you also need Level 2 (address verification with a utility bill or bank statement from the last 3 months).
On weekdays it's typically processed in 1–12 hours; on weekends or during high-volume periods it can take up to 24 hours. If you haven't heard back after 24 hours, contact your advisor.
